Dakshinamurthy or Jnana Dakshinamurti (Kannada:ದಕ್ಷಿಣಾಮೂರ್ತಿ, (タミル語:தட்சிணாமூர்த்தி), (サンスクリット:दक्षिणामूर्ति) ())〔For iconographic description of the form, see: Sivaramamurti (1976), p. 47.〕 is an aspect of the Hindu god Shiva as a guru (teacher) of all types of knowledge (jnana). This aspect of Shiva is his personification as the supreme or the ultimate awareness, understanding and knowledge.〔''Dictionary of Hindu Lore and Legend'' (ISBN 0-500-51088-1) by Anna Dallapiccola〕 This form represents Shiva as a teacher of yoga, music, and wisdom, and giving exposition on the shastras.〔For description of the form as representing teaching functions, see: Kramrisch, p. 472.〕 He is worshipped as the god of wisdom, complete and rewarding meditation.〔Magick of the Gods and Goddesses: Invoking the Power of the Ancient Gods By D. J. Conway p.284〕 As per scriptures,if a person doesn't have a Guru, then they can consider and worship Lord Dakshinamurthy as their Guru.Eventually they will be blessed with a human Self-Realised Guru, if they are worthy. ==Meaning==
Dakshinamurti literally means 'one who is facing south ()' in Sanskrit. South is the direction of Death, hence change.〔Shiva to Shankara: Decoding the Phallic Symbol By Dr. Devdutt Pattanaik p.139〕 In every Siva temple the stone image of Dakshinamurthy is installed, facing south, on the southern circumambulatory path around the sanctum sanctorum. Perhaps, of all Hindu Gods, he is the only one sitting facing south. The great seer Ramana Maharshi, has said in letter 89: one meaning of ''Dakshina'' is efficient; another meaning is ‘in the heart on the right side of the body’; ''Amurthy'' ’means Formlessness' . "Dakshinamurthy Stotra" in Sanskrit, means the "Shapelessness situated on the right side".
